Grand Archives – Torn Blue Foam Couch
Singer-guitarist Mat Brooke had big plans for Grand Archives’ sophomore album. The band had written a slew of new songs, and honed them during sound checks around the world. They were good to go. And when they entered the studio and the tapes started rolling?
“It sounded kind of… Like guys who don’t really play rock music trying to rock out,” confesses Mat.
Their record, it seems, had very different plans for how it wanted to sound. Except for “Dig That Crazy Grave,” a buoyant ditty redolent of Southern California and summer afternoons, all the material originally slated for the album wound up on the cutting room floor. Yet as the earlier songs fell away, new ones were composed to take their place. “And the record took on a new identity,” says Mat, “a little darker than the first album.”
Keep In Mind Frankenstein is out now on Sub Pop. “Torn Blue Foam Couch” is a track from the new record.
